<br />ENERGY COMPANY <br />P.O.BOX 467 GOLDEN, COLORADO 80402 <br />April 4, 2011 <br />Mr. Robert Zuber <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Re: Technical Revision No 42 <br />Modification of Permit Boundary <br />Keenesburg Mine Site <br />Permit No. C-1981-028 <br />Dear Mr. Zuber: <br />RZC?1V?? <br />AP <br />R <br />Divl ©4 20 <br />sfo /, <br />?The purpose of this Technical Revision No. 42 is to request consideration by the Colorado Division of <br />Reclamation Mining and Safety (DRMS) for an adjustment of the mine permit boundary for Permit C- <br />1981-028. Coors Energy Company (CEC) submits this request following a review of miscellaneous oil <br />and gas activities contemplated by Petroleum Development Corporation (PDC), the owner of the oil and <br />gas mineral interests beneath portions of the Keenesburg Mine site, specifically Section 25. PDC is <br />indicating that they have received Colorado Oil and Gas Commission approval to pursue a "horizontal" <br />well.. The well will be drilled from an oversized pad located adjacent to and including the west edge of <br />the present CEC property/permit line. <br />In anticipation of this contemplated activity by others, and the associated disturbances, CEC seeks <br />approval to remove from the Permit Area a 400 foot wide strip of land along the entire west edge of the <br />present permit boundary. With the exception of a negligible portion (2+ acres), once used for an <br />evaporation pit and currently Phase III released, this entire west 400 feet of the currently described Permit <br />Area has not been disturbed by coal mining operations. The area is currently described on the mine maps <br />as, "Natural Undisturbed". <br />CEC is submitting its request for an Incidental Boundary Change together with copies of revised <br />documents applicable to the Permit, along with a proposed "Public Notice". The notice will be placed in <br />the local newspaper when CEC receives concurrence from DRMS as to format and content. Copies of the <br />Technical Revision 42 Application will be delivered to the Keenesburg Town Hall and to the Weld <br />County Clerk and Recorder's office for public review once approval is received, and concurrent with <br />publication of the Public Notice.
